Before and After

Pin It Yes... another before and after! I've been receiving a lot of feed back from these, so, I'm gonna keep them coming... and those of you asking for a more in-depth tutorial, well, one is in the works! So, stay tuned!

I went a little overboard I think with this one, but, it all worked out in the end! The doodling, to me, reflects the free flow of the water and just the FUNness (is that a word?) of that moment. So, I extracted the photo of my son for starters, found the PERFECT background paper (from Tangie Baxter) and started tracing. I used different colors this time and by the time I got down to his shorts, I was ready to have fun and go crazy with the flowing water! Once I put on the title, I just had to trace that too. Below is a larger version of the final page so you can see the detail. :)

Before and After

Pin It

 Another example of using a photo in an art journal page. This time, I enlarged the photo to fill the height of the page. This gave me the chance to pull your attention to the sweet little flower he is holding. I also decided to pull some of the background paper out and put it in his shirt to break up the solid blue. I finished it off by tracing the photo, this time, I used different colors for my outlines. :)

Pin It Just a little insight for a Saturday morning. We can't 100% control whats around us... but we CAN control 100% what we put out there. Happy Saturday! :)
